Eric Thornton has been called The Ugly One by everyone in his town since he was 10. Now he is the only one who can save them from a Viking Warlock searching for a lost piece of Thor's hammer. A modern retelling of the norse mythology. Fr. Mike (Wes Studi) has hidden a piece of Thor's hammer from Lok-eye, a viking warlock. Lok-eye kidnaps three children every spring and forces their mothers to find his prize. The only one immune to the Warlock's powers is Eric Thornton, called The Ugly One since he was a child. Eric only wants to win The Steel Gloves, an all out fight contest with a prize trip away from the madness. Fr.Mike must convince Eric to defeat the Warlock and save the very people who have treated him so cruelly his whole life. Patrick Moug's The Ugly One was a unique and fresh take on a much-used genre. Horror movies can be a dime-a-dozen, but this one combined a creepy vibe as well as an intelligent storyline. The movie had great production values and used varied and interesting locations, creating an atmosphere of a much bigger budget movie. I was impressed by the use of so many outdoor settings without the washed out look that normally comes with these kinds of shots. The night shots must have been very difficult to get as well. The use of digital film enhanced the professional feel of this movie. The plot was surprising and well thought out. The score was professional and well suited to the plot purposes. <br/><br/>I'm looking forward to seeing what comes next from this talented filmmaker. I hope this talented man is making more movies…Pat Moug and the "Ugly One" is one heck of a film… We need more "from the heart" film makers like Moug!!!! I believe the talent pool here, in Detroit, is totally untapped… Pat's vision and his movies need our support…. The effort, emotion and heart in the "Ugly One" is showed throughout the film. I really like the music and the way is flows throughout the movie, as well. I am impressed with Moug's ability to find actors like himself, who make movies for the love of the craft… Moug is helping Police and Firefighters. Moug is donating his film in an effort raise money for those families of our fallen HEROES!!! PLEASE…Support Moug and his visions. I do.
